On Radio 4 this morning - today programme it was annouced that DCMS would publish new guidance to this wretched act, acknowledging that much had been left to the courts to interpret. There was particular concern from musicians that the 2 in a bar rule was being phased out by October. DCMS said the new regime was better for musicians!!! But 4 out of 5 public houses have yet to submit their application and there was only a month to go. Ask your local licensee if an applications has been made and if the music public entertainment provision has been included. It costs nothing extra!
